It's only June, not September, but school just opened at the Barnstable Senior Center.

A class of a dozen amateur artists convenes every Tuesday morning in the art room, bringing their acrylics, oils, water colors, pastels, their varied talents and modesties, their variety of talent levels and their memories of scenes and still lifes ready to put on paper and canvas..

Claudia Borden Brierley's art class, in whatever medium of artistic expression you like, fills the art room with serious critiques, laughter and shared friendship. You are in the right place if you're having fun. The class opened with a field trip to the Provincetown Art Museum. That was fun for all.
